Introduction All individuals have a physiologic tremor that may become more pronounced in
periods of stress, stimulant use, or caffeine. There are few publications measuring the effects …

We describe the design and performance of a handheld actively stabilized tool to increase
accuracy in microsurgery or other precision manipulation. It removes involuntary motion …

Augmented reality (AR) is transforming how we work, learn, play and connect with the world,

Goal: This paper offers a new approach to model physiological tremor aiming at attenuating
undesired vibrations of the tip of microsurgical instruments. Method: Several tremor …

Microneurosurgery requires dexterity, precision and delicate force application in order to be
carried out safely and effectively. Neurosurgeons must apply sufficient force in order to carry …

To overcome the challenges of reconstructive microsurgery, a teleoperated robot called
ASTEMA was built to help surgeons performing microanastomoses. The surgeons' needs …

To examine gender differences in hand stability, finger position and force holding tasks at
low force levels were conducted with 30 male and 30 female young adults. Total fluctuation …

Previous studies have investigated the effects of various human-based factors, such as
tremor, exercise, and posture, on microsurgical performance. In this study, the authors …
